  Pros

  There's probably only 1 time this disk hasn't reinstalled GRUB to allow booting the OSs. Sure. you may have to use the included HELP files to learn how to use it. If using a dual, multiboot system it would be smart to research how to use this first.

  Cons

  Practicing use to learn it. There are only 1 or 2 commands which will hose your computer.

  Summary

  Installed 3 OSs and all it takes is one screwup to leave your computer inaccessible. But i'm just an explorer, have to read the forums to do anything so if I can learn Linux you can too. Installed Wins7 upgrade on a different HDD with XP and had no OS access. Loaded this disc and could access Wins7 immediately. Then installed a Ubuntu 904 OS (Mint 8) and after had my multiboot with Grub. LOVE THIS DISK! It will handle most any boot problem.

• Keep Linux and Ubuntu and the GRUB loader

  Pros

  Ubuntu loads its virtual operating system from disk which is nice if you know what you are doing.

  Cons

  I do not understand linux and Ubuntu was Greek to me. A corrupt GRUB loader blocked access to my Vista 64 system. Nothing worked including the Super Grub Disk. I got a copy of Vista 64 Ultimate to bootup which gave me access to my computer.

  Summary

  Stay away from Ubuntu if you are a Windows user. Do not dual boot the two operating systems. Ubuntu will highjack your machine if you don't know what your're doing.
